Oh I didn’t know that! How terrible. I find her charmingly out there.

Here you go! You should be sitting, and try to keep your head away from explosives.

Fair point :) Shall we add Sandra Lee to the discussion?

My other favorite story of the week was the republican lawmaker in Texas realizing that we can’t let Syrians in because it’s too easy to buy weapons here.

Jesus christ. This rhetoric is terrifying. These people aren’t going to stop until there’s a mass killing of Muslims in this country. It’s been going on for years but reaching a fever pitch for no fucking reason that makes a lick of sense. The “othering”of Muslims is scary. We have a presidential candidate talking…

I have a secret obsession with watching Sandra Lee. She’s just so drunk and clueless, and she makes me feel better about myself. Because no matter how much I may fail at life, I will NEVER make that Kwanzaa Cake.

I think there was a show that was actually that on PBS once.

It’s that there’s a huge gulf between the image she presents and the actual reality. She and her husband are LOADED. They have a separate house for their kitchen, FFS. Nothing against rich people, but at least own it. It’s a damn luxury to be able to sit around and take fancy pictures of your high-end cookware and…

There are entire websites about it! I don’t loathe her, but it’s really easy to present an image of idealized bliss in the country when you’re loaded. And they are LOADED. When you’re loaded you can afford a lot of help, you can have the best cookware, etc.

Maybe he just wanted to hike? I mean, just ‘cause people are celebrities doesn’t mean they have to be “on” all the time.

YES! So what, Ina’s rich. She’s a good cook and a good TV personality. And she owns it. Unlike Pioneer Woman and her fake homespun persona/story.

OK, Bourdain is an asshole, but this is an amazing insult:

You have to understand though that a 6-year old has tiny fingers and can make very tiny and detailed bombs.

I think we’re in agreement, actually. I was responding to the people who say we’re grieving selectively or inappropriately. You don’t get to shame people for grieving over Paris but not Beirut when you don’t really give a shit most of the time (that’s the vague “you,” not you, who seem like a lovely person. Some…

I’ve been seeing this shit on my Facebook all day. Thing is - I post articles about Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Kenya, Burundi. And not ONE of the people complaining has ever liked or commented on those articles. It’s not that the media isn’t covering those stories. It’s that nobody cares.

Also - I didn’t realize there were actual gym teachers in college!

This is my plan with my future kids. Can you tell me a little more about how it works? What chores do they do? How often? How do you divide between the kids? Tell me your secrets! :D

I mean this seriously - how did you do it? How did you raise him to turn out so well? My husband and I are about to start trying to have a baby and articles like this leave me fucking terrified. And what terrifies me the most is raising an asshole.

Does anyone know a good way to fix this:

This exactly. Sadly most people, if they know anything of Burma, know only enough about her to know she’s a popular leader who has stood up against the junta. But her silence on the continued persecution of the Rohingyas is a tragedy. With as much widespread support as she has, she is absolutely in a position to…
